It's only logical to do it also for testing. It should be trivial to 
also move the translations for the release of Lenny.

For point releases it's less obvious as removals only happen at release 
time and the point release itself doesn't necessarily have to be what is 
in proposed-updates, although that's preferred. So for point releases we 
should coordinate beforehand or dak should know about the translations 
at point release time :-)

Currently it would be strange to do description translation updates for 
stable outside point releases, so if that's wanted, that would need more 
discussion...
